[@darleneaitken1620]

Of course, they should name them.

[@felixculpa3520]

If the Libs refuse to name them, the CPC should force another "no confidence" vote, in the house. Put as much pressure as is possible on Jag. Get that early election and vote them ALL out! -- miaow.

[@minizinnia3764]

I'm a bit curious why the conservatives have been so quiet on all this. This should be a time to scream unless some of the mps are in their party as well as the other parties.

[@chrystineleibel608]

Jag might be one with his kalestani ties to terrorism.

[@zserbs2326]

There were 3 huge headlines today. Foreign interference, PBO carbon tax gag order AND millions to insiders. The conservative aren’t being quiet lol they just have a list to go through.

ABSOLUTELY!! Canadians have the right to know

Who’s holding on here, the Conservatives have indeed raised this issue in the House and are pursuing answers…. They don’t have to “burn the house down” as you say, whatever that means, in finding particulars.

[@Suecanadian]

I agree 💯 %

[@gwenshantz4723]

Yes they should name them for sure.

[@natalien8017]

Well, as usual, Mr. Trudeau (right dishonourable), might come out to the press, and say he takes responsibility BUT NOTHING will happen until the elections. He said he was taking responsibility so many times before, I am yet to see the outcome. Did he resign?

[@jody-ne7xs]

Canadians shouldn't know the names in a liberal democracy as it may change voting habits for those thinking of voting liberals. This needs to be placed under the rug.

[@sandman9413]

7:27 that says it all and is Canada's biggest problem right now

[@1951shine]

Of course and removed immediately

[@ronwerner]

How did those MPs get on the list??

[@aryandixit229]

Yes! There needs to be a trial with these individuals out of parliament. If they remain in parliament, they may destroy evidence. Since they knew secrets, I would assume they held high level portfolios and had security clearance. Jagmeet’s behaviour is suspicious as he is not quite as vocal about this as he is about the Nijjar issue.

[@charlenelohnes4698]

Thank you

[@d.flaherty227]

Woodchipper.

[@jorgewu6225]

Nah, Trudobe will keep it a secret or his government will fall with too many MPs resigning

[@johnnewton3592]

Once any concerns over the investigation is completed by the RCMP and the MPs who were involved have been contained, the names should be released. We do not want to release the names and start proceeding with charges until all safety concerns have been addressed and any leaks of information have been tracked down.

[@BarbaraCorbett-ze3my]

Gallant is a joke.

[@ShelleyAllen-sb8tz]

Brian Gallant, a true Liberal word salad answer.

[@chadbeharriell3401]

There should be no votes taken/legislation passed in the House of Commons until the collaborators are named/known - until then, Parliament is compromised. Until the names are known, each MP and Senator is in fact a suspect.

[@DK-uq2yi]

Yes of course they should name them. The RCMP should investigate and charges should be laid. Anyone guilty of cover up should be charged as well.

[@Greta-n4n]

Who are MP's ELECTED to SERVE? CaNADIANS/CANADA!? OR FOREIGN INTERFERENCE IN CANADA!? Where's your ACCOUNTABILITY!?. We hear words tumbling from lips of "TRANSPARENCY".WELL, WE'RE SEEING IT UNFOLDING!! THE TRUTH COMES OUT.

[@karenacton3854]

Of course!! Stupid question, what about transparency the government hollers about…..except for themselves right?

[@sash7551]

Why the hell are we debating this ???? If this were the 1960s the corrupt MPs would be gone by now! If this were medieval times their fate would be worse !!!

[@richardferster8049]

Nutty. Who in Government wouldn't identify and release the names of the culprits, and throw them in jail. Is this finally the last straw.

[@corkum4337]

Here's a way we can pressure the government. IF they don't want to name names, we should all assume it's all MPs, since we can't have information to make informed decisions.

[@mommabear4232]

MP ALEX RUFF SAID IT CLEARLY, WHY IS THIS NOT OBVIOUS,"THE REPORT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF"

[@NBuss-x1u]

It'll be interesting to see how many of these MPS or dual citizens with other countries. I mean, shouldn't a person that is born in Canada only be allowed to run for politics? Seems to make a little bit of sense now. Doesn't it loyalty?

[@theseproblemsmatter1]

A country is in serious trouble if naming corrupt officials for crimes against the country they swore to protect and serve is up for debate instead of just happening

[@GrimReaper1971]

It's insane this is even a debate.....

[@TeresaSmyth-z9m]

Look around of over growth of immigrants…..Is Canada being taken over by those countries?

[@retireddude3397]

Names no. These are allegations and we might compromise sources by releasing the names. BUT why not state how many MPs are under suspicion? How many cabinet ministers?

[@TeresaSmyth-z9m]

Are Canadians safe? Are Canadians being dictated and controlled? Are Canadians struggling for the basics like home, food? Is Canada filled with CRIME? Are Canadian’s SAFE? Does Canada have a clean RCMP?

[@flyboynextdoor]

I wanna know who they are but more importantly I don’t want to jeopardize the chance to out the guilty ones behind bars
